It is looking more and more like the British government was up to their elbows with Libya to arrange the release convicted Lockerbie terrorist bomber Abdel Baset al-Megrahi on "compassionate grounds.

This mass murderer returned to a heroes welcome so British companies can get some lucrative deals with the Libyians.

I can not thing of anything more inappropriate than the Patriots playing in England after this and I call on Kraft and the NFL to cancel it.

Dr. Pain i've been around a long enough time to realize you don't mix politics with sports. We watch sports to distract us from things such as this, and unless someone can prove absolutly that Britain had a deal with Lybia the game should be left as is. Rumours of such dealings is not enough, Just MO

What Scotland did was reprehesable, what Libya and Kadaffi did was obcene.

IMO Its doubtful because of its past history with the British govenment that Scotland would aquiess to allowing Al-Megrahi to return to Libya.

IMO Its doubtful because of its past history with the British govenment that Scottland would aquiess to allowing Al-Megrahi to return to Libya. After all Scottland is a soverein country

I doubt the NFL would stop but there is value in asking. As far as there being no English influence in the decision the British papers have already debunked that. They have ripped the hearts out of thousands of relatives and friends for the sake of a mass murderer and his family? Thatâ€™s not it, itâ€™s for money.

First of all, politics and sports don't mix.

Secondly, what a total load of horse-****; he was released because he's dying of cancer. Would I have let him out for that? No, he would have slowly rotted away inside for me, but I like to think Britain still has a sense of fair play and compassion, even to those that have done us wrong.

Three. If you want to talk about cancelling Patriots games because of the actions of a country's government being "unpatriotic" - were you up in arms every single game during the Bush administration after the Invasion of Iraq? If we want to talk about companies getting lucrative deals on false grounds, let's talk about Haliburton, Blackwater, Titan......or did that not count because they're American?

Would an ordinary prisoner have gotten the same compassionate consideration? Yeah, that's what I thought. Two and three make you look more ignorant than you are.

Ronnie Biggs was last night starting the 'last chapter' of his life after he was freed from prison on compassionate grounds.
The Great Train Robber, who turns 80 today, was said to be 'extremely weak' in hospital where he will remain while being treated for pneumonia.
Biggs was moved to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital last week from Norwich prison.
Shortly after 2pm on Friday he managed to scrawl his name on the release papers before shaking the hands of his three guards and waving them away.

Unless there is the potential of a legitimate THREAT to the team, then I don't care about any foreign dealings. I let the Commander-In-Chief worry about such things, or I might end up like my little avatar guy.

When the Cancer finally kills this piece of sh!t and he heads for Paradise and his 72 Virgin Whores the United States should declare a national holiday, all working people should have the day Off with pay (hot dogs beer fire works and sex)

Yes, lets boycott the UK because the Scots were too soft. I'll get on the phone to my relatives out in LA and tell them they can't visit me in England anymore or buy stuff here and all American tourists having a funky time down in London or the beatles museum in Liverpool all need to go home because some crusader organised a boycott....you know, the London and Liverpool that aren't in Scotland. All U.S. Based posters on this site who planned to come over now can't meet up with us in October and have a good time because someones sad life is dictated by politics.

Just so you know, most people of the UK would gladly see the fuker rot in prison where he belongs, cancer ridden or not so don't confuse one goverments soft decision with the opinion of the genral population of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales who haven't forgotten what terrorism has done at all thank you very much. You can get off that f'kin high horse now.
